ID   2.1.1.396
DE   cephaeline 6'-O-methyltransferase.
CA   cephaeline + S-adenosyl-L-methionine = emetine + S-adenosyl-L-
CA   homocysteine + H(+).
CC   -!- The enzyme IpeOMT1, isolated from the roots of the tropical plant
CC       Carapichea ipecacuanha, catalyzes the final step in the bionsynthesis
CC       of the alkaloid emetine.
CC   -!- A second enzyme isolated from the same plant, CiOMT1, also catalyzes
CC       this activity, but catalyzes the activity of EC 2.1.1.395 with a much
CC       higher activity.
